Unpopular opinion I suspect, but it's Robert Codner.
Never did anywhere near enough.
And just when he did start performing got banged up. Idiot

2 replies in and not one vote for Leon Best yet?! Surprised.

He is who I first thought of.
I always felt, if he could be bothered he could have been so much better than he was most of the time.
Wasted potential.

I agree with all that. Very talented player but somehow his head wasn't in the right place.

He wasn't an Albion player and in any case hardly played.

Reminded me of one of those irritating twàts at primary school who thought he was world class just because he could dribble a bit and then moaned "aaah FOULER" as soon as any opponent got remotely physical. Basically his game consisted of dribbling into dangerous areas and then wasting it. All the f**king time.

The Coca-Cola kid, if he had applied himself as others with less talent did, he could have been a decent player for us.

Good player in his day who came to us when he should have been head and shoulders above most in the squad, but basically admitted that he couldn't be arsed.

Oh come on... he was nearly bloody great.
Akpom
We’ve had loads of loan players but they’ve always tried their hardest and often been stand out players. Ward, Lingard, Teixeira, Bridge, Bent. Even someone like Tomori was very young but did a job. But Akpom just seemed like he couldn’t be arsed and didn’t want to be there. A feeling he shared with me and doubtless countless others.

May I add a big fat YES! I have no idea how he seemed to gain a cult following other that the fact that we were roundly awful around then and desperate for a bit of flair to brighten up the dark Hyypia days when we couldn't buy a win.
I'd also include Ryan Harley, Kemy Agustien and Leon Best into a similar camp, blatantly talented but infuriatingly lazy, clearly not fit and arrogant in their approach. I don't mind players who may not be good enough (Bong for example) it's the ones that don't even seem to try. I burned more calories watching from the WSL than those three did on the pitch most games. Infuriating.
